Whatever your thoughts on electoral politics are, this shit right here is such a terrifying prospect for the future...
No one is taking credit, but we all know which party they're part of. Where is Roger Stone?
Not where he should be: prison.
His head should be adorning a spike atop a parapet somewhere.
His weirdly shaped head
That's an odd way to spell "melting quietly in an oil drum", but sure.
I’d stick him in a drum of “Turpentine, acetone, benzene. [Judge Doom] calls it the dip.”
Judge Doom wouldn't put himself, voluntarily, in the dip.
Judge Doom is what happens when you bip around in history like a hare-brained child with no regard for multi-universal consequences and the strain it takes on the squishy human psyche. Apparently, the loss of his dearest Clara and their children was enough to make the ol' Doc snap right to his core.
That’s the fucked up part: they’ll be decried as ”lone wolves”, and, as such, no care will be given in investigation nor pursuit. Each and every time. Nor to the aggregate effect of the countless “love wolves” who are never pursued, nor the fascist, terrorist packs they will obviously, inevitably form because they were ignored, alone, fed a diet of Trump and YouTube, and Alex jones, and Xitter…
But that’s the point.
I'm not sure if AI is going to revolutionize anything good, but it's certainly going to revolutionize election interference.
That, misinformation/propaganda, scam calls, etc. Shits gonna get wild real quick here soon, and I don't think we as a species are remotely prepared for it.
I am fooled by imageai posts about 80% of the time. I don’t know how to not be, but it just makes me distrustful of everything
It already has. But unfortunately the news is not in the business of reporting the news. It is in the business of advertising and engagement. And sensationalist/bad News drives engagement.
luckily deep fake audio still sounds fake...
however, im pretty sure this is real

Even if it didn't sound fake, you'd think common sense would preveil. Why would the president robo call you telling them not to vote for them.
My favourite quote attributed to Winston Churchill that he never said is:
The average voter went to public school, which is directly manipulated by the entire ruling elite to keep them in power and feed the war machine. Education has very little to do with any of that.
Are private schools less manipulated?
I'm sorry, are you whatabouting this? Seriously?
.... You do realize that a significant part of the nation can't even read out a sixth grader level right?
And that doesn't refer to only how well they read words that refers to their critical thinking and their comprehension of what they have read.
These are the target audience.
It sounds like they’re talking exclusively from the front of the mouth. I used to talk like that when I was trying to conceal a tongue ring. I wonder why that is?
Linguistics nerd stuff below: American English is spoken from the front of the mouth compared to lots of other languages (not this far forward, but still). I wonder if AI voices speaking Arabic would move Arabic forward by the same amount, all the way to the front, or further back (no human anatomy restrictions on AI voices).
Basically, I wonder if this is a consistent artifact of AI voices or whether AI is just exaggerating unique features of a language.
Edit: I found this, which sounds natural enough that I wouldn’t have thought anything of it (aside from the cuts and the actual things said), had I not been watching out for front of the mouth talk
Goddamn. This is a depressing time.
